World Cyber Games gets new CEO

Mr. Hyoung-Seok Kim is now heading up the World Cyber Games, which open this week. Why the switch so late (or early) in the game? I'm not sure. Maybe they wanted somebody new to market the WCG. Perhaps there was a giant snafu with public relations. Anyhow, he's experienced and he knows what he's doing. Vote for Kim!
